The pink patch
Members of the Glocester Police Department will be wearing a special patch through the month of October – and residents can purchase one of their own to help out a great cause.

The items are available for pick up at the station at 162 Chopmist Hill Road Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proceeds from the patches will be donated to Rhode Island Chapter of Pink Heals.
